Problem: After installing the WPML plugin and activating languages, everything works except when logging in as an administrator, which triggers a fatal error. The error message indicates an issue with DOMDocument::loadHTML() due to an empty argument in the WPML String Translation plugin. Solution: We recommend two approaches to resolve this issue: 1. Disable automatic string registration by navigating to WPML → String Translation and turning off the “Auto register untranslated strings” option. 2. Apply a manual fix in the plugin. Navigate to: wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/StringTranslation/Infrastructure/StringHtml/Repository/HtmlStringsRepository.php and update the function
readAllRawGettextStringsFromHtmlScriptTags
as follows:
private function readAllRawGettextStringsFromHtmlScriptTags( \DOMDocument $dom, string $html ): array {<br /> // We cannot read here with xpath - script tags contain code from the JS template engines and some html will be broken.<br /> // (For example some elements will miss closing tags).<br /> $pattern = '/<script.*?type="text\/(?:html|template)".*?>([\s\S]*?)<\/script>/i';<br /> preg_match_all( $pattern, $html, $matches );<br /> $scriptHtmls = [];<br /> foreach ( $matches[1] as $match ) {<br /> if (!empty($match)) {<br /> $scriptHtmls[] = $match;<br /> }<br /> }

Problem: Sie sehen eine Warnung auf der Übersetzungsseite, dass Ihre Webseite nicht die Mindestanforderungen von WPML erfüllt. Dies wird durch eine Wechselwirkung zwischen WPML und dem Plugin „WooCommerce Vehicle Parts Finder – Make/Model/Year/Engine/Category/Keyword“ verursacht, das serialisierte Daten in Cookies speichert. Diese serialisierten Cookies führen dazu, dass die interne REST-Prüfung von WPML fehlschlägt. Solution: Als temporären Workaround können Sie die Art und Weise ändern, wie WPML Cookies während der REST-Prüfung filtert. Sie sollten die Methode
anpassen. Ersetzen Sie die Methode durch eine Version, die serialisierte Cookies ignoriert. Dies ermöglicht eine erfolgreiche Durchführung der Prüfung.

Problem: You are trying to display a translated global form using WPML on your Elementor site, but the form appears in the original English instead of the expected translation. Solution: This issue has been reported to Elementor and will be fixed in a future update of the plugin. In the meantime, we recommend adding the following code to your theme's functions.php file to ensure the Elementor global form is translated correctly. Please ensure you have a full backup of your site before proceeding.
// === WPML not translating contact forms FIX ===
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
add_filter( 'get_post_metadata', 'wpmlpb_735_translate_elementor_data', 10, 4 );
}
function wpmlpb_735_translate_elementor_data( $value, $object_id, $meta_key, $single ) {
// Only act on Elementor data
if ( '_elementor_data' !== $meta_key ) {
return $value;
}
// Temporarily remove this filter to avoid infinite recursion
remove_filter( 'get_post_metadata', 'wpmlpb_735_translate_elementor_data', 10 );
// Get the actual Elementor data
$elementor_data = get_post_meta( $object_id, '_elementor_data', $single );
// Re-add the filter
add_filter( 'get_post_metadata', 'wpmlpb_735_translate_elementor_data', 10, 4 );
// Process and convert dynamic elements if possible
if ( is_string( $elementor_data ) && ! empty( $elementor_data ) ) {
$data_array = json_decode( $elementor_data, true );
if ( is_array( $data_array ) && class_exists( '\WPML\PB\Elementor\Hooks\DynamicElements' ) ) {
$dynamic_elements = new \WPML\PB\Elementor\Hooks\DynamicElements();
$data_array = $dynamic_elements->convert( $data_array );
return json_encode( $data_array );
}
}
return $elementor_data;
}
